Doritos Super Bowl Challenge
I was asst. director to Rob Hubbard for this commercial entered into the Doritos video contest. It was a blast to shoot. The resulting commercial is titled "Slumber Spies" and can be found on the Crash the Super Bowl site. http://www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/gallery?video=14310
My Kind of Fame
Twelve years ago I had a dream that I was Bernie Taupin. When I woke up, I wasn't sure why I would have a dream I was Bernie Taupin.
Then, with sleep still in my eyes, I realized, Bernie Taupin is my idol. Not in the conventional sense. Sure he's written great lyrics throughout his 40-plus year partnership with Elton John. But what really interested me in him is his fame. He's wealthy, well respected, but not physically recognized. Imagine Elton John walking into a crowded room without being recognized. You can't. But Bernie?
That's my kind of fame.

Best of Bunny Gumbo
I'm looking forward to my play, "So-So Sorensen" being produced for the Best of Combat Theatre on December 17.
Hope you can join us for the fun.

Rewriting is the thing
After writing two complete versions of my full length play "Enter the Pigman," I have started a third version. From page one. I don't expect more than five pages of version 2 to make it into version three. Which, I guess, is why I'm calling these versions not drafts.
Over the years I've met so many people who have handed me a new draft of of play, so excited about the rewrites, and with the exception of a few word changes, it's the same.
That's not rewriting! That's copy editing (this isn't a knock on copy editing, I love copy editors. It's just a different process)!
